Failure Analysis for Each Condition

Symptom Expected factor Corrective measure
When power sliding door is suddenly opened due to malfunction. When the door is operated by accident or fault is generated in open/close switch. Check if there's no damage or disconnect in switch
Latch assembly fault generated Check for wiring connection
Check for switch status through analyzing device with service data
Power sliding door module or body control module faults generated Reset the power sliding door function by detaching and reinstalling battery or fuse. Check for the wire connection, and inspect in accordance with the DTC procedure.
When the power sliding door does not open or close automatically The vehicle is not in "P" or in a wrong switch condition. Check for switch status with analyzing device
